The Twelve Apostles, will for the present
direct the Mormon church, Wilford Wood
ruff being President thereof. 1t has been
thought by some that either George @. Can
non or Joseph F. Smith, nephew Of the
original Joseph would assume the leader
ship. Woodruff is in the regular line of
succession, and his address assuming con
troll would indicate that there was to be no
departure from the order. Woodruff is
eighty years old, and man of mediocre
ability He has been hiding for two years,
and is still out of sight save to the faithful.

| popular as would have been Cannon's or
Smiths: AS a matter of course the Nor
mons will accept him. It is not probable a
| April, if then. The apostles, with Taylor
| at the head, ruled three years after Brigham
Young's death before Taylor was chosen
president.
